The white grape variety (also Alzey 10378) is a new breeding between Muscat d'Eisenstadt (Ingram's Muscat) x Müller-Thurgau according to DNA analyses published in 2012. The parentage of Luglienga Bianca x Gamay given in the breeding list turned out to be wrong. The cross was made in Germany in 1929 by Georg Scheu (1879-1949) in Alzey/Rheinhessen. The name was given in honour of Anne-Marie Regner (1911-1999), who worked for Scheu for many years. The early-ripening vine yields a low-acid wine reminiscent of Müller-Thurgau with a light muscat tone. In 2018, 13 hectares of vineyards were designated in Germany (D-STATIS). Small populations are also said to exist in England.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
